Add page numbers to a PDF without installing software. Choose where the number goes, how it reads (for example Page 3 of 12), which page numbering starts on and which number it starts from. The numbered copy is created in your browser, so the original file is never uploaded or changed.

How to use Add Page Numbers to PDF

  1. Choose a PDF from your device, or drop it onto the box.
  2. Pick a position, a number format and a text size.
  3. To skip a cover page, set the first numbered page to 2.
  4. Select Add page numbers, then download the new PDF.
